It's Not Suppose To Go Like This

Chapter 7

The Man Or Women Behind The Curtain

Hazel wrung out the washcloth and placed it on the girl's forehead. The guy had pretty much dumped the girl on the bed and left. Didn't say anything to Hazel about who she was or why she was there. Then again Hazel after a month of behing held captive by him she had learned he wasn't much of a talker.

The girl moaned and opened her eyes. "It's alright. I'm Hazel; I would say were we are but I'm not sure myself." She helped the girl to sit up. "Easy, you've been out ever since that guy brought you in here, about four hours ago."

"Thanks, I'm Railean by the way. Railean Winchester. You know my brothers Sam and Dean."

Hazel pulled back a little, "That's funny. Sam never mentioned he had a sister."

Railean shook her head, "That's because he didn't know about me when he met you and Max." Railean swung her feet off the bed and Hazel let her. Railean looked down at Hazel stomach, "You're showing."

Hazel put her hand protectively on her belly. "How did you... I haven't told anyone. Not even Max. I know I should have told Sam, but I didn't want him to think he had too do something."

Railean agreed with her, "You're right you should have told him, hell I should have told him."

"So why didn't you?" Hazel asked.

Hazel could see her think about it, "I guess the same reason you did. I was scared. I knew he was already blaming himself for you being taken and then to tell him that you were pregnant would have killed him. Granted, he's going to kill me when he finds out I knew and didn't tell him."

Hazel smiled at her. "Yea that sounds like Sam. How's Max doing?"

Railean noticed the subject change, "He's doing fine, worried about you, then again so is Annie." She smiled at the thought of the dog. Jingling drew Hazels' attention to the door.

Railean stood up as a tall man entered the small room, "Gordon!"

Gordon smiled at the two of them, letting his gaze linger on Railean. "I take it Sam and Dean have mentioned me."

"You know him?" Hazel whispered.

"Yea. Dean mentioned him once." She watched Gordon cross over to stand in front of her, "Told me you were a psycho as well as a second rate hunter."

He slapped her hard across the face. She managed to stay on her feet, only her head snapping to the side. "Guess I was right."

"I should tell you, I have orders not to lay a hand on her," he gestured to Hazel. "But you are a different story." He raised his hand to hit her again, but sheeasily blocked him.

"Doesn't mean I'll let you," Railean told him with a grin. Gordon smiled back then slugged her in the stomach. She doubled over and fell to her knees.

"Stop it!" Hazel yelled at him, putting herself between Gordon and Railean. "Leave her alone."

Railean looked up at Gordon out of breath, "I so can't wait till Sam and Dean find you and kick the shit out of you."

Gordon walked to the door and tossed over his shoulder, "They have to find us first." He shut the door and Railean heard the door lock.

Hazel knelt down to help Railean to stand, "Well if I had any doubts, they are gone. You are definitely Sam and Dean's sister."

"You have no idea."

Dean slammed the door, "Nothing. No one saw anything and the license plate comes back as stolen."

Reid raised himself on his elbows, "Dean I'm sorry. I should have done more." Kalika had patched him up best she could, after she had called the number. Amanda had said she would be there in an hour and to keep him resting till she got there.

Dean wanted to yell back at him, but Kalika stopped him, "Just take it easy Reid. They know you tried."

Sam came out of the bathroom, "You get anything, Dean?"

Dean shook his head and sat heavily on the bed. "Nope and we have no way of tracking her. God how stupid is that."

Reid had fallen back; just that little bit was exhausting. "What about that tracking spell Railean was going to try for Hazel. You think we could rig it to track her instead."

"Oh yea," Dean said with a little too much sarcasm in his voice. "We just happen to have a spare witch in our bags."

"Dean relax," Kalika told him. "He's just trying to help."

Dean stood up, "Well he should have tried that before he let Gordon just walk up and take my sister!" Dean was pissed as hell and nothing anybody said could make him feel any different.

There was a hard knock at the door, breaking the tense silence. Kalika opened it to see an older woman with gray hair, pulled back into a tight bun. "I'm here for Anthony," she said, brushing past Kalika before she could say anything. She went directly to Reid and pulled his shirt up. "So what did you do this time Anthony? Who did you tick?"

Reid sucked in some air when the women ripped off the bandage Kalika had placed over the wound. "Oh don't be such a baby, Anthony." She inspected the wound carefully, and then looked at Kalika, "Were you able to get the bullet out?"

Kalika shook her head, "No it was too deep and who the hell are you?" Kalika had just asked what everyone else was thinking.

"Amanda, I'd like you to met Kalika Moore." Reid nodded to Sam, "That's Sam and the brooding guy by the door is his brother, Dean. Everyone this is Amanda. She's our department's active Wicca."

"And by active, he means strongest," Amanda turned back to Reid. "Well I haven't got all day Anthony; roll up your shirt so I can get the bullet out. Oh and Kalika, is it, sorry but at my age it gets harder and harder to remember names. Could you be a dear and get some more clean towels and you there, Brooding Guy, I'll need you to keep Anthony from moving. Sit on him if you have to."

Kalika grinned as she walked past Dean. She knew he would just love to sit on Reid. She grabbed the last of the towels from the bathroom and was walking back in when Max came back from walking Annie. The Boxer took one look at Amanda and started getting excited.

Amanda looked up from examining Reid's wound, "DOG! SIT!" Her voice boomed through the room and for a second Kalika was sure every guy not already sitting would have done just that. Annie plopped her butt down and tilted her head.

Kalika had to laugh. "You know I don't think, other then Railean, I have ever seen that dog obey someone like that." She handed the towels to Amanda.

"Yes well most animals tend to listen to witches. Something about a bond, I'm not sure how it works." Amanda gestured to Dean, "Feel free to hold him down; this is going to sting a lot."

Dean held Reid by his shoulders and Amanda held her left hand over the wound, "Deep breath Reid and on the count of three. One. Two."

Kalika saw something zoom out of Reid's side and he would have jerked off the bed had Dean not been holding him down, "Three," Amanda said as an afterthought. She handed the bullet to Reid, "Here you go, a nice little keepsake. You can add it to the others." She held her hand over the now bleeding wound. Her hands started to glow a light blue and the wound stopped bleeding; then started to close. Reid breathed a sigh of relief once she was done.

"Thanks Amanda," Reid told her as he slipped back into his shirt. "I do have another favor to ask you."

Amanda had gone to the sink to wash her hands, "And what, pray tell, would that be Anthony."

"Sam and Dean's sister was just taken. We believe by the same man who took Hazel. Railean was going to try to locate her with a spell but as we told you she was taken. Think you could…"

Amanda spun around, "Anthony Mark Reid! You were going to let some girl dabble in the Arts? I thought you knew better then that."

"Hey!" Sam yelled at her. "Railean knows how to handle that kind of magic. Her mom was a witch and so is she. And she's a damn good one too, probable stronger then you."

Amanda squinted her eyes at Sam. He didn't flinch at her. No one was going to bad mouth his sister with him around. "You have the spell this girl was going to use," she was looking at Sam but asking Reid.

Dean answered, "It's in her spell book, and I'll get it." He dug the book out from under the pile of papers still sitting on the table and handed it to Amanda. The older woman opened it and started to flip through it. They could all see her slow down her flipping as she read a few of the spells in the book.

"It umm… seems I owe your sister an apology. These are some pretty advance spells." She had turned to the one to call a spirit. "Has she actually done this one?"

Dean and Sam both nodded. "Twice. I believe it was her first real spell. She used it to call her mom and our dad."

Amanda nodded; then found the spell Railean had been planning to use. She studied the spell, "Are you sure she was going to be using this one?" she asked Sam.

He nodded, "Yea, she showed me the list of ingredients she was planning on using." He looked over Amanda's shoulder to read the book.

"So, besides her blood who elses was she planning on using?"

Again Sam answered her, "Mine. She said that since Hazel and I were close it would make the call stronger."

"Well that would work if Hazel was related to the girl as well, but this spell is to call a lost child. Are Hazel and the girl related?"

Dean was starting to get a little ticked at Amanda referring to Railean as 'the girl'. "Hey lady, I would appreciate it if you would stop referring to my sister as, 'the girl," he told her standing up. "Her name is Railean." He also had an idea as to what this woman was getting at.

Amanda looked him over, "You're hiding something," she stepped up to him and glared at him. "You're sister might be as strong as you think, but I have more experience at this. If there is something you're not telling me, it could affect the way this spell works."

Dean looked between Amanda and Kalika, hoping Kalika would get the hint and jump in. He didn't want Sam to find out about Hazel like this. "All I'm saying is that with the exception of a body swap gone wrong, Rai's spells have always worked the way she intended them."

"Well I'm sorry but I'm not performing a spell unless I know what I'm calling for. Other wise who knows what I could summon to us."

Kalika tapped Dean on the shoulder and nodded outside. "Well be right back," she tld everyone else. Once out side she rounded on him, "We have to tell Sam what is going on."

Dean shook his head, "No way. I'm starting to agree with Rai. He'll go ballistic. Besides I was hoping to find Hazel and let her tell him."

"Fine, we don't have to tell Sam, but we do need to tell Amanda. If she has the whole story then maybe she can help."

Dean looked off down the street, wishing like hell Railean was here to help him deal with this. Sam would freak out once he found out Hazel was pregnant, hell Max would probable kill him as well for not telling him. He hung his head, "Fine but you tell her and make damn sure she understands not to let Sam know. I mean it."
